Well, what a couple of months it’s been. Ching Contracting is still making really good progress with the earthworks and civil works.
While one crew was completing the last of the work prior to Stage 11 road being asphalted, another team spent about 5 weeks reconstructing the hillside on the eastern flank. Lots of ground being dug out, another slip was removed and reconstructed along with a bloody great big shear key installed.
On top of that drainage galore to ensure absolutely no future ground movement. In fact the ground up around the top right section is now so hard we can’t drill holes for the retaining wall posts, so a trench will be dug to place the posts and fill with concrete.
A few photos from the drone showing a bit more progress. Come up for a drive and wander around and don’t forget to drop in to the Sprig & Fern for a nice cold one, or Marsden cafe, pod that suits better. Two great places to enjoy mixing with the ever growing community locally.
